My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to be able to get here twice last week! He was in LOVE with the beer selection (very hard to find in Monroe) select NC and national craft beers. I was in LOVE with the innovative menu!
The fried cauliflower with chili sauce was divine. Not too soft and not to hard - this cauliflower was cooked just right for this Goldilocks!! Even the grumpiest cauliflower-hater will not be able to help falling in love with the veggie served this way. We also had the grilled shrimp with chipotle sauce. The sauce had a mild heat and did not overwhelm the delicious grilled shrimp. The jalapeno and spinach app was my favorite - served with baked thin pita strips. The dip had a little more heat due to the jalapeno - YUM!!
I had the Tuna Soba bowl the first night. Perfectly cooked seared tuna, soba noodles were a delight (not too mooshy) with a great light sauce. Fresh cored cucumber added just the right amount of crunch to the dish. I can't wait to go back and get this again!! The next night I had the seared tuna salad - how fun it was served with tiny yellow potatoes! Delicious homemade dressings topped off the perfect salad. It was so much food I couldn't finish it!!
The outdoor patio is perfectly romantic with a gorgeous fountain. The wait staff is super sweet and the chef/owner Jason makes the rounds to make sure everyone is happy. Love it here! You MUST stop in for a big city experience in the middle of tiny Monroe!
